Friday Photo Fun - Something Powerful

Something Powerful

by Rachel Hoyt

 

 

 

Held the power to grant the right,

In the name of religion to fight -

A symbol of pride to grip tight,

For to lose it was a shameful sight.

Friday Photo Fun is when I share a randomly captured moment,

or perhaps a photo experiment with more purposeful intent,
then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind
and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind.

 

After the answer is guessed, I will post a second, non-abstract photo...
and just in case you wanted to know,
the first is not a photoshopped version of the second -
they're shot using different techniques that to me beckon.

 

 

It didn't take long for Brian to guess
that a sword created the (above) fuzzy mess.

 

Thursday Thoughts - Judges and Creative Sentencing

Judge Shamus

If you dare deface my town,

I will dress you as a clown.

If you steal from the needy,

You'll be temp-tattooed 'Greedy'.

If you ditch cats in the cold,

You'll sleep where there's no stronghold.

I seek an eye for an eye,

Creatively, on the fly.

You may think that I am cruel,

But only you make you a fool.

I just flaunt your foolishness

And shame you with my wittiness.

This poem is about creative judges

who bravely risk reputation smudges

by creatively sentencing to help some learn

in life reputation is something you earn.
